Wilson Lucas demonstrates exemplary knowledge, keen eyesight and the patience of a saint. Bravo!
A lifelong dream was not only fulfilled but enhanced by the skill and knowledge of Wilson Lucas. His ability to spot animals is uncanny. His patience for my 1,000 plus questions was exemplary. His personal touch and attention far surpassed any expectations I might have had. To all that travel with Wilson in the future - congratulations!

Amazing
We visited Arusha, Serengeti, ngorongoro, Kilimanjaro, dar es Salam and Zanzibar. The national parks are absolutely astonishingly beautiful with an abundance of wildlife. We camped on the ridge of ngorongoro, this was such an unreal experience. I don’t know where to start but our family loves every moment. The people were so friendly. The food was amazing.

Great and relaxing experience
We did a 12 day trip. Our guide Brian was really nice and guide us during the whole trip. The organization before arriving to Uganda was also easily available flexible. Uganda is a beautiful country and full with amazing landscape views. We can just recommend it :)

Wonderful wildlife
My advice: combine a stay in a private game reserve, where drivers can go off road, and the Kruger Park, with its gorgeous wildlife.

Not as much wildlife as ngorongoro in our experience and not as stunning but still amazing

Took care of absolutely every detail and made our trip absolutely unforgettable!
Every single expectation my family and I had for this trip was EXCEEDED above and beyond thanks to EasyTravel! We have been planning this trip for over two years, mostly through email with their main office. The office was easy to contact and always replied in a timely, concise manner to answer any and all questions.
When we arrived at the airport at 2 am, one of our safari drivers, who's name is Abisai, was there to pick us up! We thought it would be a third party company and were so surprised and touched that the company came personally to make sure we got to our hotel safely the very first night.
The next day, we met the second driver (we had two because each car only carries 7 passengers and our party had 9 total, excluding drivers) our drivers picked us up and took us to lunch at a local restaurant and then drove us to EasyTravel Headquarters where we met the team that had been coordinating everything for us over the last two years. They gave us an amazing welcome with gifts, anniversary celebration cake and a briefing of everything to expect over the next few days on our safari.
Once the actual safari began, it blew us all away. Animals came close to our car, we were seeing so many of them all together which was so unexpected! Abisai and our other drive, Louis, taught us so many interesting things about the animals and their habitats - there truly wasn't a single question they couldn't answer! Abisai has been with EasyTravel for 15, and Louis was actually the very first driver to work with them and has been there for 27 years! Their passion and knowledge was so evident throughout our whole trip, having them with us was absolutely a game changer. They felt like part of the family after the first few days because the way they interacted with us was so genuinely and lovely. They even taught us some Swahili during the long rides!
Our drivers were extremely respectful of the animals, the habitats and other safari goers. They also worked very hard to communicate with other drivers to ensure that we were able to see all of the animals that we wanted to, even the leopard which is extremely difficult to see! We were also able to track down the great migration and follow them for hours one day to see how beautiful it is as they run in their giant packs.
The whole time we were all awestruck, and it was all thanks to Absai, Louis and the rest of the EasyTravel team who works to hard to give their guests an incredible safari experience. So much more can be said about this experience and company, it is something I would recommend to absolutely ANYONE and everyone!

Amazing trip, well planned, terrific guide.
Before booking our family trip to Uganda we undertook some research into various tour operators. Adventures to Gorilla Africa came up on a search and the reviews were positive so we sent them an itinerary request.
Rogers got back to us with a detailed itinerary and was happy to make any changes we needed, price was very competitive and we locked in our trip. Communication was excellent and they also assisted with last minute changes before we arrived due to airline flight schedule changes.
On arrival Rogers was there on schedule and we begun our whirlwind 6 day tour of Uganda (more of an 8-9 day trip but we were short on time). The car was comfortable and our lodges were excellent, we wish we had more time at them! We visited Bwindi for a Gorilla Trek and Cultural Tour, then Queen Elizabeth NP, Murchison Falls NP and a stop at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary before our return to Entebbe. Rogers had excellent knowledge of the parks, the animals, driving on some VERY challenging ‘roads’ and went above and beyond to tick all the boxes for us in terms of what we wanted to see. We learnt a lot about the country and he accommodated any request we had.
Some tips for those planning a trip - make sure you do the river cruises (they were excellent) and ..
If we return one day we will be sure to contact Adventures to Gorilla Africa again, and thank them again for a wonderful holiday to Uganda!

More than Expected
I had the most extraordinary and unforgettable experience with Amshar Serengeti Adventures during their 10-day Africa's Big Five Safari and Zanzibar trip. From the moment we landed in Tanzania, every detail was meticulously planned and executed. The safari itself was a wildlife enthusiast's dream come true – we witnessed the awe-inspiring sight of the Big Five in their natural habitat, from the majestic lions and graceful elephants to the elusive leopards and powerful rhinos. Our knowledgeable and passionate guides made sure we had the best vantage points for viewing the wildlife, and their in-depth knowledge of the region's flora and fauna enhanced the whole experience. The accommodations were superb, offering a perfect blend of comfort and immersion in the wilderness. After the exhilarating safari, we were whisked away to the tropical paradise of Zanzibar, where pristine beaches and turquoise waters awaited us. The seamless transition from the safari to the beach vacation was a testament to Amshar Serengeti Adventures' impeccable organizational skills.
The trip's highlight was undoubtedly the sheer dedication of the Amshar Serengeti Adventures team. They went above and beyond to ensure our safety, comfort, and satisfaction at every step of the journey. It was evident that they were passionate about their work, and their love for the land and its wildlife was contagious. I returned home with not only incredible memories but also a newfound appreciation for the conservation efforts in the region. If you're looking for an authentic, well-planned, and life-changing African safari experience, I therefore recommend Amshar Serengeti Adventures. They surpassed all my expectations and delivered a trip of a lifetime.

Unforgettable!!!
Prior to coming to Burundi I communicated with the company a year beforhand. Eraste was receptive to all my concerns and answered all my questions promptly. He suggested a program that he thought we would like and we loved the program. We were able to see almost every part of Burundi. Apart from the popular tourist attractions we did many things that tourist don't typically do.
It did seem that we were the first guest that did this tour; exploring every corner of Burundi. Having that said there were some challenges we encounter along the way but Eraste managed to resolve them.
I highly recommend Empirical Tour and Travel as they will accommodate your needs.
